MYHSM announces its Payment HSM as a Service will now be available via an additional cloud aggregator, Cyxtera, a global leader in data centre colocation and interconnection services.

This collaboration will see MYHSM’s equipment hosted in three new and highly connected data centres located in North Virginia, Singapore and Amsterdam, and will use Cyxtera’s service exchange platform which provides on-demand colocation and connectivity services. Through the new strategic partnership, payment companies around the world can outsource their Payment HSMs to a fully managed, cloud-based, cost-effective subscription service in-region whilst maintaining full PCI PIN compliance in addition to leveraging Cyxtera’s fast-growing digital ecosystem of network, service, cloud and storage providers.

John Cragg, CEO at MYHSM, commented: “Our collaboration with Cyxtera is a fantastic milestone for our growth and expansion plans to deliver our global Payment HSM Service and fulfil the increasing demand for cloud deployment. This partnership allows for companies to migrate from legacy infrastructure to a fully managed, PCI PIN compliant service and benefit from a cloud payments strategy. With data centres located around the world, customers of MYHSM and Cyxtera can take advantage of an unrivalled level of service without any barriers to business growth.”

MYHSM works seamlessly with any public cloud providers and supports a full cloud adoption strategy with test, shared or dedicated Payment HSM service options. Companies can secure their payment processing and payment credential issuing with the latest Thales payShield 10K hosted in multiple data centres delivering active-active “5 nines” availability and 24/7 monitoring. This alleviates the initial investment cost of purchasing and operating hardware and data centre infrastructure and provides accelerated time to market, reduced PCI scope and access to dedicated expertise and support so companies can focus on their core business.

With a global footprint of 62 world-class data centres in 29 markets and 600 networks, Cyxtera’ PCI DSS certified data centres are perfectly placed to support MYHSM’s, mission critical, payment HSMs Services and together the companies can provide global scalability, flexibility and a high level of performance and security.
